Advent calendar 2025: Day 17 – The Christmas rebel

Hello, everyone!
Let’s open Door Number 17…

Christmas decorations and the number 17


Today, I’m giving you official permission to break a Christmas rule.
Just one.
On purpose.

The Christmas Rebel

Choose one “should” that’s been quietly stressing you out and deliberately ignore it.
Examples of a rebel list (pick or add your own):
  • Skip sending cards this year (or send them in February and call them Valentine’s).
  • Buy zero new decorations — use only what you already have (or none at all).
  • Serve store-bought mince pies and act like you baked them at dawn.
  • Put zero lights outside.
  • Wrap gifts in newspaper or brown paper because it’s prettier anyway.
  • Say no to one invitation without guilt.
  • Watch zero Christmas movies if you’re not feeling it.
  • Eat chocolate for breakfast on Christmas Eve and call it tradition.

Christmas doesn’t collapse if we drop one perfect little brick from the wall we’ve built around it.

Rebel with me today.
Choose your rule.
Break it gently, on purpose, with love.

Your turn. In the comments, tell me which Christmas “should” you’re ditching this year.
Let’s start a tiny, joyful rebellion together.

See you tomorrow for Door 18…
